Historic Scottish palace will host three-day camping and music festival Otherlands

A brand-new music and arts festival is set to debut at a historic Scottish Palace later this year.

Otherlands, the three-day camping festival, will be situated on the grounds of Scone Palace in Perth at the end of August, the heritage site and the home of Scotland's Kings & Queens.

The team behind the exciting new revelation also take charge of Edinburgh's popular FLY Open Air Festival, held annually at Hopetoun House in South Queensferry.

Taking place between August 19-21, the countryside festival will feature music, art and boutique glamping as well as talks from industry leaders.

There will be six stages for the event, soundtracked by some of the biggest names in the electronic music scene, although a lineup is yet to be announced.

The Palace has also previously hosted events such as Rewind Scotland and Solas festival.

In 2018, residents in Scone staged a fight against plans to resurrect T in the Park at the palace, shooting down possible plans to hold the famous festival in their back yard.

Residents and the Scone Community Council said that is would be "unbearable" if the festival was to move to Perth, using the BBC Biggest Weekend show that was previously held at the site before these discussions as a prime example of the untold misery it would bring residents.

Otherlands had been teasing the festival on social media recently and a few days ago posted an announcement revealing the destination for the summer festival.

In an Instagram post they said: "This summer, we welcome you to join us for a celebration of music, art and culture rooted in Scotland’s historic Scone Palace from 19-21 Aug.

"A 3-day camping retreat nestled within the idyllic Perthshire countryside, soundtracked by the best acts in live & electronic music."

Otherlands have also set up a form for people to register an interest in the upcoming festival, which you can find here.
